I ride a 2018 Hakka. I have 2 wheelsets - 650 x 45 with some knobbage (Pirelli), and 700 x 32 Gravelking slicks. The Hakka is a bit twitchy to me, but it's designed to do CX if you want to. I vote for stability over quick handling if you're gonna ride primarily gravel. Loose gravel over hard surface is sketchy AF at speed. I'd probably buy a different (slacker) bike if I were to do it over. I had 47's on it at first, but they were slicks and I wanted more grip on loose stuff. 47s (and 45s) are plenty comfy. I don't find myself wishing for fatter tires.
